Does it matter what my middle score is with FHA? Or if I qualify for an FHA I will get the prevailing rate and a FICO of for example 640 will get the same interest as a 720 fico?
Does this also apply for conventional? I am thinking with conventional the better your scores, the better is the interest rate.
If it helps I am locked in at 3.75 for a USDA garaunteed with Ficos of 665, 659, and 640 ish. I cant remember the exact numbers, but I know my mid score is 659.

Pardon my ignorance, how does USDA work. Is it backed by the Dept of Agriculture? How does one get this loan?
Yes, from what I understand it is backed by the Department of Agriculture. I know the property has to be located in an area elgible for the loan. 100% financing is available(no down payment), and certain income restrictions. These are the main things I personally know about it.
Yes, with FHA the rate is the same if you qualify whether it's with a 640 or 740. I just locked mine at 3.5 for 15 with a 699 mid.
Thanks for the replies. I'm gathering infor so I can be ready next year for a mortgage.
